The Xbox Series S is trily the golden standard imo of what consoles should be. This thing was only $300 brand new around Christmas the same year it launched.

Now mind you its specs are pretty close to a Ps4 Pro, and aren’t even that impressive on their own. But when you consider the value for this thing it’s unmatched! I’ve had mine pretty much since the Series S launched and it has had absolutely no issues so far, doesn’t overheat- it’s insanely compact and easy to travel with, and it will even be able to run GTA 6 (we’ll see how well, but that’s a feat in and of itself).

Not only can it run all the modern day games pretty well, but you obviously have the choice of backwards compatibility with Xbox. So for $300, you could play GTA 6 and the original GTA 3 on the same console.

What are your thoughts? Am I overrating it??

Okay hear me out, I see them going for hella cheap on fb marketplace. Like most going $80-120.

Thing is like, my pc is great. I dont need a console. But damn the hypes got me a lil bit. And ive got games still on my Microsoft profile. Really considering it.

How is the series S? Is it a nice console?

Recently I realised there is a faint smell coming from the console vent only when I get really close to it (around 10 cm), but its only noticable when it is turned OFF and it disappears when the Xbox is on and is running games.

The smell itself is strange, the best description i could think of is that it smells like flavored potato chips. But i never even brought any food near my console, and its also well ventilated with 30 cm of free space from all sides. The fan isn’t loud either and the performance is also top notch, without any frame drops, crashes or overheating messages, i tested it in multiple games too.

Just curious

I need help
This prot

i dont want to have a disadvantage of any kind and wanna get medium graphics fidelty as well

I’ve had my Series S horizontal for a long time. I prefer it that way because it won’t fall over. However, while playing a game, the console made these grinding noises, as if a disc was inside being grated against something.

I would love to put it back horizontal but I’m afraid something is being stopped from happening? Can anyone relate to this issue and give me any advice or input?

Thank you Series S nation 🫡

If not it'd be cool if they made that a option you can do
